Pros

Initially-when I started at Slalom everything was great...

Cons

I have been with slalom for nearly 8 years and stayed with them mostly because of the project I am on. Over the last year I have gotten a new boss who has harassed me and been very verbally abusive. I was told by my contact who placed me from Slalom that our jobs as consultants is to make sure that the projects run smoothly for our clients. I did that-however the treatment has gotten worse. I have brought this up not only with my Slalom contact but other management from HR. This is not the first issue that I have tried escalating. I had a problem 4 years ago on a project and they did not care to even listen. I'm sorry to say it but this place is over rated. Good reviews have gotten to the company very quickly but the treatment they give is just terrible. My contact at Slalom is absolutely terrible and just a tool. How she got the job she has blows my mind. The verbal abuse I have gotten is not appropriate and I will say their sister companies are no better.

This is John Tobin. I plan on sharing this review with the Seattle leadership team. I would very much like to meet you and understand exactly what you are experiencing. Your mention of a "contact" at Slalom and "their sister companies" has me very confused with what group you are in, not that anyone should ever feel verbally abused. Could you email me at johnt@slalom.com to set something up to discuss.

Pros

Great, fun, smart people; work-life balance; start-up atmosphere -stimulating

Cons

If you're experienced - 15+ years - there is no real career path. And most of the work is technical in nature - not as much room for strategy. Heavy on execution/staff aug. roles.
